Flamengo RJ vs Fortaleza tips and predictions

Flamengo RJ get ready to do business with Fortaleza

The odds-on for the home side might not be for everyone but Fortaleza are unlikely to be contemplating any legitimate thoughts of victory.

The hosts start the match having bagged 11 wins from their last 16 games.

The hosts have been good in previous performances. Flamengo RJ scored two or more goals in 13 of their recent 17 matches while their defensive line has also received plaudits. The data shows that they have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 home games. They'll see this clash as an opportunity to put in another strong display in defence so don't be surprised to see them keep a clean sheet.

In all of their last 3 matches the visitors have scored one or less goals. This could soon be rendered irrelevant in hindsight if their strikers can become more clinical with their finishing. Don't hold your breath though.

Flamengo RJ have won 3 of the last 4 fixtures between these sides. They may not be that relevant but the head-to-head stats favour another home win.

The betting markets suggest that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet due to the favouritism for Flamengo RJ. The No option from the Both Teams To Score market could be the best side bet.
